Legalizing marijuana will make kids do heroin

Marijuana is basically legal in California now and I have noticed that it seems to have extended the age range of the people who use it or at least made them more open about their use. I hear people who are in their 40s and 50s talking about their marijuana use. For all I know my parents could have been smoking pot when I was a kid, I would have had no idea, but now people talk about it and their kids have to know. We all know that kids don’t want to do anything their parents do, so now instead of experimenting with pot they are going to experiment with other drugs. I picture a teenager smoking a joint and his friend sees him and says, “you’re smoking weed……my PARENTS smoke weed!!! Weed is for old people, you should try crack.”

Next thing you know we have an entire generation of heroin faces and crackheads!

Popeye ate his spinach out of a can.

I was making dinner the other night and I grabbed a can of green beans out of the cabinet and I started to laugh because you always hear people saying how you should only eat fresh and organic vegetables. They will tell you how canned vegetables are bad for you because of the preservatives and what not, but aren't canned vegetables better than no vegetables at all? I think it is funny how it used to just be eat your vegetables, now its eat your organic, no pesticides, grown using all natural compost fertilizer, vegetables. When did the nutrition triangle become a trapezoid?

If canned spinach was good enough for Popeye it is good enough for me!

Take advantage of home.

I spent the afternoon today in downtown L.A. with a friend, we took a tour of the Disney Concert Hall and had lunch at the Grand Central Market. The tour was great, it not only covered the Concert Hall, it also informed you about the history of the downtown area, the surrounding buildings, and the major renovation process that is happening currently. I am always saying that I need to get out of town and take a vacation but the truth is, there are so many great things right here, that I have not done and that are very affordable. Sometimes I forget that I live in a tourist destination!

Isn't it ironic.......don't you think?

Is it ironic that people like myself, who are self aware and intelligent enough to realize that we should not reproduce, are actually the ones that should be reproducing? We see that the world is over populated and know that we should slow the reproduction process before we completely deplete the planet of all its resources. Our genes are the ones that should be passed on, creating more intelligent and aware people. However it is the less intelligent people that continue to make baby, after baby, after baby, making more unintelligent people, all the while yelling “Get ‘r Done!” and saying “I don’t care about global warming, I will be dead by the time anything bad happens”. The lesser intelligent are out reproducing the intelligent at an alarming rate!

How far are we from Idiocracy?

"The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections."

No way Jose!

After Hershel Walker, the 47 year old former NFL football player, made his MMA debut Saturday night, Jose Canseco sent a message on twitter stating "I guess I may have to show Herschel Walker who the real bad boy of the Sports Industry is. If the powers that be are reading, I want in." This is the problem with letting people fight MMA just because they will make a lot of money. First it was Kimbo Slice being promoted by EliteXC, now Hershel Walker, as well James Toney. If this is a legitimate sport and is going to stay that way and not become professional wrestling, promoters need to stop putting on these fights. Make these fighters work their way up through the ranks and prove that they belong in the big leagues. When Michael Jordan decided he wanted to play baseball he didn't just get a starting position in the majors, he had to work out with a minor league team and it turns out he wasn't good enough and he went back to basketball. Michael Jordan who is thought of as one of the best athletes on the planet wasn't good enough for the majors in another sport, yet a 47 year old Hershel Walker was allowed to get into the cage as a co-main event fight, in a sport that has 100 times the possibility of serious injury as baseball, without as much as one fight to his name. As Canseco said "if the powers that be are reading", please stop putting on these fights and keep the SPORT of MMA a sport.
